Gina Carano defends the Women’s title!
LaRosa needs to not break if she wants to win titles. Carano seems crazy-invincible, since she didn’t take a nidge of damage during this fight. Hey, did you see Carano’s punch output? Thats CRAZY!!!! I got nothin’ else here. Tara just needs to improve all-around. Carano should just be tossed into the hall of fame now. Give someone else a turn at the title.
